    Peaches and cream overnight oats are a delicious and nutritious breakfast perfect for busy mornings! Easy to make, vegan + gluten free options. 

    I love making overnight oats. They are such a quick and easy way to make a healthy breakfast. This version is perfect for summertime when fresh peaches are ripe and in season. However, you can totally make this with your favorite frozen or canned peaches as well.

    Why You’ll Love Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats 

    • Delicious way to enjoy fresh peach season!
    • Simple to make in one bowl
    • Easy, quick, & healthy
    • Refined sugar free option
    • Dairy free if made using plant-based milk
    • Gluten free if using certified gluten free oats

    Ingredients 

    There are two basic ingredients for any overnight oats recipe: Oats and Milk of your choice. After that, the possibilities are endless for flavor! That's what makes this recipe so awesome - simple ingredients that are the perfect way to start your day!

    • Rolled Oats - Rolled oats (sometimes called old-fashioned oats) will make the best overnight oats that are rich and creamy without being soupy. Steal cut oats will make for a chewier texture and need to have a good 12 hours to soak. Instant oats will make more of a soup as they breakdown in the fridge overnight. 
    • Milk - You can use any type of milk that you like for this recipe! Over the years, I’ve made them with dairy and non-dairy and they always are delicious. My favorite milks to use are rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, and coconut milk. 
    • Peaches - Can’t have peach overnight oats without peaches! For the photos in this recipe, I used fresh peaches that were in my local grocery store. However, I’ve made this exact same recipe with fresh, frozen, and canned peaches. 
    • Other ingredients you’ll need: Brown sugar or maple syrup, pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon 

    Allergy Substitutions

    To make these overnight oats gluten free, make sure that you are using certified gluten free rolled oats. You can find these are Trader Joe’s, Thrive Market, or my personal favorite brand to use, Bob’s Red Mill GF Rolled Oats. 

    If you are avoiding dairy, make your oats with your choice of non-dairy milk. I’ve had best results with using ones like rice milk, soy milk, coconut milk, oat milk, and  almond milk. 

    If you are sensitive to birch trees, or have Oral Allergy Syndrome, make sure that you are using allergy friendly maple syrup or brown sugar. 

    Instructions 

    For the full recipe with measurements and instructions, please see the recipe card below. 

    This is for a single serving of oats, but you can easily double or triple the recipe to make breakfast for the whole family or meal prep for the week! 

    To begin, grab a container with a lid that you can use overnight. A mason jar is really popular, but most times I just use a glass bowl with a lid. 

    In a medium bowl, mix the oats with the milk of your choice. Add in the chopped peaches, cinnamon, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Give this a good stir and place in your overnight container.

    Let these soak overnight. Place the container in the fridge for overnight or at least 8 hours to really give time for the oats to plump up. 

    Add the toppings and serve! The next morning, add your toppings. For these photos, I added non-dairy whipped cream and sprinkled some gluten free granola on top. 

    Enjoy! 

    Variations

    Peaches and non-dairy whipped cream are my favorite toppings for this. However, you can add so many other things! Here are a few ideas to get you started.

    • Chia seeds or ground flax seeds
    • A spoonful of almond butter or sunflower butter
    • Mix in ½ a cup of greek yogurt

    Best Container

    You’ll want to keep your oats in a jar with a lid, that way it will stay fresh. Make sure that it is large enough to fit all your toppings and keep in mind that oats expand as they soak in the milk. I recommend that you choose a 16-oz container to prep, mix, and soak your overnight oats in. 

    Mason jars are really popular and work great for meal prepping. Glass bowls are what I like to use to mix up my oats. I also like that they are stackable for my fridge.

    FAQ

    Can I add protein powder to this? 

    Yes! If you have a protein powder that you love, go ahead and add that to make this an even more nutritious breakfast. You may need an extra splash of whatever milk you are using to make it come together. 

    Are overnight oats healthy?

    Yes! Overnight oats are filled with fiber, protein, and fresh fruit, making it a healthy choice. Peaches are full of vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, iron, and even some B vitamins. They are also packed full of antioxidants, helping against aging and disease. 

    Also, when you soak rolled oats overnight in milk, the phytic acid in the oats decreases. Phytic acid prevents digestion, so the lower number means that overnight oats are easier to digest! 

    What are the best oats to use? 

    I personally love using rolled oats. I think they make the best overnight oats because they are creamy and pudding-like without getting soupy. Steel cut oats will provide a chewier texture and need to soak for longer. Quick oats, or instant oats, will dissolve in the milk, making it a much thinner consistency. 

    How to Store

    These oats are made to be enjoyed the morning after you make them. I prefer to make a fresh bowl each night for tomorrow morning, however, you can prep a few days in advance if you prefer. 

    Fridge: These oats can be made up to 4 days in advance and kept in an airtight container in the fridge. 

    Freezer: Yes, you can freeze overnight oats! Freeze them in a freezer safe container for up to 1 month in advance. Remove them from the freezer the night before you want to enjoy them and add fresh toppings in the morning.
